I've hit a dead end trying to identify the actual artist for a song titled "Porchlight Parade". I have it as an MP3 that was probably converted from a Youtube video.

It's a janglepoppy alt-country song with female vocals. The artist in the metadata is listed as "Polarvortex" but the only hit I get on that is some EDM guy.

It appears to have been on the #Janglepop page on Youtube but is no longer there.

I'm convinced it's AI-generated but not finding even the tiniest reference to it anywhere is baffling.

Here are the (not perfectly transcribed) lyrics (no hits on any of these)

You left your mug on my windowsill,
Looping chips on the sill,
your name still hangs on the screen door latc

Ordered a $2000 pergola kit from Lowe's website. It arrived with one of the largest posts splintered in half during shipment.

Called Lowe's customer service. Their response: we can't ship out an individual component. You need to contact the vendor who shipped it (some company called "Whizmax.") The phone number Lowe's gave me for them goes to a disconnected voice mail box, and they have no website, no email.

Lowe's response: sorry, we have no way to contact them either. You need return the full set (10 boxes, weighing several hundred pounds, that have already been staged out to the job site and partially unpacked.

Any advice other than returning everything? This means a ton of work to r

Our chapter is considering doing a rubber duck race as a fundraiser. This would be on our local river (we are in California).

Been doing a lot of research on how to make this work so I understand the common pitfalls and potential rewards.

Has anyone here been involved with one of these? Looking for any advice, pointers, tips. and whatever problems or surprises you ran into. Thanks!

So we will be in Punta Arenas in late April, which from what I read is too late to see the penguins. So we are looking for alternative day trips. Has anyone been to the following? Any advice on these options or better ones? Looking for something cool and unique and scenic in the neighborhood.

Hello, I will be visiting El Chalten in April. My flight will be arriving at El Calafate at 4pm and I was planning on getting the 6pm bus from the airport to the El Chalten bus station.

However I am seeing that taking a taxi is the same price or less - does anyone know if this is true? For example: El Calafate Airport to El Chaltén

If this is the case I'd rather take a taxi since it would be quicker and more convenient and would take me directly to my hostel.

Thanks!

Just received my new xFi Pod. However, the app doesn't recognize it. I have it plugged in right next to my modem. I get to a ""Let's try that again" message and can't get any further on the app.

My signal is fine. I've tried plugging the pod in different locations, restarting the modem, connecting the pod to the modem with an ethernet cable, Same results.

Anything else I should try? I see from searching this is very common issue.

Anyone been up to Freel Peak lately via the Fountain Place Road trailhead? Planning to day hike it on 8/24. I'm curious how far up the road I can get in my Crosstrek, given the road condition and where the last gate is, and how long the round trip would be from that starting point. I'm seeing reports that the round trip can be from 17 miles to 11 miles depending on road conditions, if the lower gate is open, etc. Any info appreciated, thanks!

Been looking on Meetup for any social activity groups for people in their 20s who want to make new friends…not finding anything though. Any recommendations? Thanks

I am in the process of selling my condo. So I need to provide a “disclosure package” from the HOA to the buyer. This is basically PDF versions of the CCR, bylaws, reserve study, Insurance, board meeting minutes, etc.

However, the management company is going to charge me $500 for this service.

Is this something that is normal? My understanding is that these documents were part of what we should be receiving anyway as homeowners. $500 to attach some PDF documents to an email seems preposterous.

However, they are basically extorting me by blocking my sale until I play this fee to provide the docs.

Has anyone experienced this and how did you deal with it?

I've been trying to get advice about a specific scenario involving a CRUT (Charitable remainder unitrust) But my tax guy is scratching his head over it, so hoping someone here has some insight.

Background: my friend's mom is selling her house in CA. She bought it in 1970 for $40k. Sale price will be about 1.5m. So her cap gains will be around 500k. She wants to place the house in a CRUT to shelter it from cap gains. She understands how it's supposed to work in the long term.

But she also wants to immediately sell the house and use the proceeds to buy another (smaller) house, all within the CRUT.

I can find a ton of info about liquidiating a property within a CRUT and then reinvesting t
